Hoodwinked? Had? Took? Led astray? Run amok?
Bamboozled? White lies? Black lies? Dirty laundry usually "stanks," and I'm putting it in the wash and hanging it out to dry. If you feel you have "the right not to be offended," just get over it. Beyonce Knowles may be bootylicious, but this blog is truthfullicious. Even God cannot change the truth.

THE MURDER OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.--Unspoken Details--PART ONE

"As the book was coming out, I spoke to Barbara Reynolds. She met me at a restaurant near Tribune Tower. She kept looking apprehensively at the door. "Jesse is going to run me out of this town. I can't stay here anymore" she told me. Someone came to the door and looked right at her. Frightened, she fled our table. Three weeks after the publication of her book, it was withdrawn. I have one of the few copies of the original book. In the early 1990s, Barbara Reynolds finally went public with what happened to her and her long-suppressed book. The Establishment had been plainly protecting their man, Rev. Jackson. She told of her plight while on 'Tony Brown's Journal' TV Program. About that time her book was re-issued but not widely mentioned."

Booker T. Washington said:

"There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs....There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
